Lilli's 2nd Birthday!

My Mother-in-law has had a blog for the last few years that the whole family enjoys reading.  I'd thought about starting one because I thought it would be a good way for out of town family to keep up with what we'd been doing but never wanted to commit to having to keep up with it.  A few weeks ago I saw the book that my Mother-in-law had made of all of her blog posts from the previous year.  I was sold! It was so neat to be able to go through and read about everything we had done and I decided I'd like to do the same. What a cool thing for our kids to be able to have one day.  So... here goes.

Lilli at her birthday dinner

Yesterday was our "baby's" 2nd birthday.  It was a rainy day so I had to come up with some indoor activiites to entertain her for the day.  We started with a lazy morning and lots of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  She is obsessed with that show and waking up slowly and watching it is her favorite thing to do in the mornings.  Her Yaya got to our house a little before lunch time and we headed straight to Chuck E Cheese for pizza and playing.  It took her a little while to warm up but she ended up having a great time!



She was asleep before we even got home and took a nap for over 2 hours. When she got up her Daddy was home so we opened presents and playing with those occupied her until dinner. We met some friends and family at Nicky's Mexican Restaurant because her favorite place to eat is anywhere that has "tillas." It was a lot of fun and nice to get to visit with everyone.






  I think the birthday was a success! We both had a blast all day and she got to see so many of the people that she loves.  All in all, a good day.

Summertime!

Yesterday was Bossier’s last day of school, but we’ve been in summer mode since they got done LEAP testing a couple of weeks ago. It’s honestly so dumb that they had 10 days of school after testing because they did NOTHING. There was a whole lot of movie watching and playing on computers. On top of the fact that grades were due over a week ago, so it’s not like there was much they could have done. We stayed out on school nights, had pool days and skipped half days to hang with Pops, or friends or just to bake.  Katie had her awards and field day last Wednesday. She ended the year with Straight A’s and a member of National Honor Society. It was so fun to watch her compete in field day events and get to meet some more of her school friends too I checked Katie, Madison and Britney out of school when it was over, and they spent the afternoon in the pool and then we all (with Koy and Lil) went to Josie’s Tball game that night. It was the second one we’d been to in a week and I swear it’...

Last Day of Summer

That’s a wrap. Summer 2019 is done and tonight is a school night. It’s been a great one. We went to the beach, Did lots of swimming, spent time with all of the cousins. But it’s time to go back and they are excited. We had Shaleigh and Lily over and went to the pool for a few hours. They had it to themselves and it was fun to spend several hours swimming and getting in one last day of play. It was also meet the teacher. Katie has Mrs. Wilhelm (top) but she is still on maternity leave until Labor Day. So for the next month she has Mrs. Huckabee who she knows because she subs and she had her several times in kindergarten. Both of Lillian‘s teachers are new to Apollo this year so we are not sure what to expect but they seemed very nice. Mrs. Winans is her homeroom and then she switches for math and science. It’s a welcome change to only have two teachers this year. Three teachers in third grade was a little much and in fact they’re not even doing that anymore. Back to school also means ba...

Bar-J and More Baseball

For Christmas last year, Pops and Honey gave his 3 daughters and 4 granddaughters a weekend at a “dude ranch” for a gift. We picked the weekend because it was Anna and Piper’s spring break and it’s harder for Anna to miss school as a Junior than the other 3. The weather couldn’t have been anymore perfect and the timing worked out perfectly for us to celebrate Allie’s 40th birthday on the 4th too. They came in Thursday and Matt grilled steaks for her actual bday. I didn’t get one picture that night but it was a nice evening. The next morning, we got up and drove to El Dorado to the ranch. It was the “rancher’s experience” and we got in 3 rides, plus the kids got to help care for all the animals Dad has his own cabin and all 7 girls were in a bunk room together. After we were settled, we went to catch the horses in a field to take them to the stable to be saddled  The wranglers were very patient considering there were 8 of us and none knew how to help very much. But there was lots of...
